One passage in Oliver Twist pulls at my heartstrings. It was when Oliver is in the orphanage, and they have just finished eating. Oliver is still hungry. So he takes his empty bowl up to the server and asks for more. There is nothing more pitiful than a hungry child having to beg for food. Except perhaps a hungry animal in search of food.

While filming a segment to bring to light the need, homeless animals have the non-profit group called World Animal Awareness Society caught something that couldn’t have been planned. They set out to capture what it is like to live as a homeless animal. They wanted to show people how hard life is when an animal is forced to fend for itself on the streets.
